Introduction

special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for

basic navigation of the AIMB-218 setup screens.

BIOS Setup

The AIMB-218 Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a CMOS SETUP utility that
allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The
CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard. When
the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power to pre-
serve the CMOS RAM.
When the power is turned on, press the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-
On Self Test) to access the CMOS SETUP screen.
